Through my blog, I have some wonderful
encounters! As part of theSan
Pellegrino Young Talentsoperation, I was asked to be associated with a
chef who would cook at my home for six. I was given the young Chef Adrien Derenzis of
the restaurantLa Part
des Anges in Ragnies (Thuin). From my first contact with Aurélie Flament,
the Chef’s wife who takes care of the service and management of the restaurant,
I had a good feeling! We organized the details of the meal very quickly. To give a bit of his background, I can tell you that Adrien
Derenzis, preferred to be in the kitchen and did his apprenticeship after one
year of culinary school at La Cinquième Saison in Mons, followed by a year in
the Vincent Gardinal’s Michelin starred restaurant "La Prieuré St
Gery". In 2010 at the young age of 22 , he opened La Part des Anges. As for
Aurélie, she abandoned her career as a psychologist to join her husband ... and
they are a great team!

For our evening, the chef has
concocted a tempting menu of a cuisine of fresh, colorful and amazing dishes
including the following:

Figs poached in port with cinnamon,
a 70% chocolate, a wafer with pine nuts and a homemade blueberry sorbet

And as surprise, the chef made us
taste his specialty, the chocolate lava cake which was a great success. At
first, the Chef was reluctant to make it since he was not familiar with our
oven (I totally understand!) ... We were glad that we insisted that he tried at
least ... it was such a treat!

We all had a wonderful evening and I
think the best part of this story is that I have gained two new friends!
